REPRODUCTIVE-CYCLE AND ENERGETIC COST OF REPRODUCTION OF THE NEOGASTROPOD BUCCINUM-UNDATUM IN THE IRISH SEA

The annual reproductive cycle and cost of reproduction of the common whelk, Buccinum undatum L. (Gastropoda: Prosobranchia) were studied off Douglas, south-east of the Isle of Man. Sexual maturity was reached at 60-70 mm shell length. Two years of laboratory observation and field data indicated an autumn to mid-winter breeding season. Egg-laying occurred in the laboratory mainly between December and January, and hatching ofjuveniles between April and early May, 3-5 months after spawning. The cycles of testis and ovary development were very similar, especially during the breeding period. The annual energy invested in reproduction was estimated to be at least 4.1 kJ m-2. The investment by females (3.84 kJ m-2 y-1) was much greater than by males (0.26 kJ m-2 y-1).

Genetic structure of modern and ancient swordfish populations from coasts of Turkey
Yüncü, Eren; Togan, İnci Zehra; Department of Biology (2017)
In this study, partial mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) and 8 microsatellite loci of swordfish collected from Northern Levantine Sea and Northern Aegean Sea were analyzed. Also same mtDNA region of ancient swordfish samples unearthed from Yenikapı excavation were sequenced. Obtained sequences were evaluated comparatively with the sequences from Balearic Sea, Ligurian Sea, Ionian Sea and Southern Aegean Sea, available in databases. Analysis of the molecular variance revealed a significant differentiation between We...
Genetic and physiology of cold and drought resistance in Turkish red pine (Pinus brutia, Ten.) populations from southern Turkey
Kandemir, Gaye Eren; Kaya, Zeki; Önde, Sertaç; Department of Biology (2002)
The purpose of the study was to determine the pattern of genetic variation in morphological and physiological traits associated with cold and drought stress using seedling from over-exploited and natural populations of Pinus brutia Ten. (Turkish red pine) from southern Turkey. To determine the pattern of genetic variation existing in over-exploited and natural populations, seedlings from 6 populations each with 40 families were raised in Ankara forest nursery from 1998-2000. Three of the populations (Yaylaa...
Population dynamics and ecology of the invasive veined rapa whelk, Rapana venosa in the southern Black Sea

© 2022 Elsevier LtdSpatial and temporal changes in some ecological characteristics (i.e. biomass, abundance, morphometrics, sex-composition, growth parameters and population dynamics) of the invasive veined rapa whelk (Rapana venosa) were studied off Sinop Bay, in the southern Black Sea. The whelk specimens were sampled from three depths (15 m, 25 m and 35 m) at monthly intervals between November 2005 and October 2007. Custom-made pots were deployed for the capture of R. venosa individuals. Monthly distribu...
Genetic diversity of gazelles (gazella marica and gazella gazella) in Southeast Turkey: with a special emphasis on ongoing conservation studies of gazella marica in Turkey
Saatoğlu, Dilan; Togan, İnci Zehra; Department of Biology (2015)
The present study was conducted to confirm the recently suggested taxonomic status of gazelles in Turkey and also to investigate genetic diversity that exists between and within populations of Gazella marica (One from Kızılkuyu State Farm, Şanlıurfa, n=48; one from Erikçe State Farm, Gaziantep, n=25) and Gazella gazella (population from Kırıkhan County, Hatay, n=4). In the frame of the study, partial mtDNA cyt-b sequence (amplified by the primers: L14724, H15149), 17 microsatellite loci (RT1, ETH10, OARFCB3...
Life History Strategies of Non-Indigenous Por’s Goatfish (Upeneus pori) and Confamilial Red Mullet (Mullus barbatus) in The Northeastern Mediterranean
Ok, Meltem; Gücü, Ali Cemal (2013-11-01)
In this study, allocation of energy and time for growth and reproduction of M. barbatus and U. pori were investigated to understand life history strategies adapted by a native and non-indigenous confamilial species based on multidisciplinary survey data collected in three successive years in the NE Mediterranean. The results indicated that the species seem to fulfill their biological activities within a short period of time when the highest productivity is reached in the area. The native fish exhibits fast ...
